This directory contains the files needed to build GNU Emacs on the Mac OS (8.1-9.0). Many of the major features of the Unix version are supported: multiple frames, colors, scroll bars, menu bars, use of the mouse, fontsets, international characters, input methods, and coding systems. Mac OS specific support includes document drag-and-drop in the Finder, transfer of text to and from other applications via the clipboard, and sending AppleScript commands to other applications from Emacs. The following are not yet supported: unexec (dump-emacs), asynchronous subprocesses (start-process), and networking (open-network-stream). There is basic support for synchronous subprocesses (call-process) although Unix commands that are used will need to be ported to the Mac. Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 5 or Pro 6 or MPW-GM (August 2000) can be used to build Emacs on the Mac OS. See the INSTALL file in this directory for instructions on building Emacs. Binary distributions are available at http://mac-emacs.sourceforge.net/index.html At this site you can also find an FAQ, mailing lists, and dicussion forums for discussing issues related to running GNU Emacs on Mac OS.
